2024-10-29 19:42:56Christopher's eyes were as cold as ice as he drove the blade into the boys throat. He looked directly at Cassandra. Blood began to leak out from the wound and the boy's mouth he looked to Cassandra a horrified expression on his face. Reaching out mouthing help.
"Wait stop! If you don't remove the blade we could heal his wound!" Taelin called out. Christopher looked at him and smiled, then turned to Cassandra and looked her in the eyes. After a brief moment ripped the blade through half of his neck. His head flopped to the side hanging from a bit of meat and skin. Chris turned and began to walk away. The now deceased boy's body left in the kneeling position....
"W-What do you think you're doing!?" Taelin Called after him. "Your commander gave you an order and you blatantly disregard it!"
Christopher stopped mid stride and turned to face the man."First of all my commander is on the other side of the country, so no the only order I ignored was not to comeRelated chapters

"You bitch! What do you think you're doing!? Do you know who I am!?" A voice rang out through the camp.Christopher and Cassandra both frowned. While Chris was just worried about a fight breaking out, Cassandra recognized the voice of the man shouting just now. It was Heinrich.Already a large crowd was gathered around the voices. Take that back a large portion of men were surrounding Lord tons of fun and a silhouette not yet in view. many men were facing outward keeping a perimeter and another group surrounding someone with Heinrich, and his left hand man."You should be honored! Commoner trash like you would beg to accompany Lord Heinrich! He just asked you to go for a walk!""Now, now George. She is just a commoner perhaps she just is not aware of who I am? I am Lord Heinrich, Lord of Bigellia. Now would you care to accompany me? We could even go further then just a walk?""His domain couldn't possibly be as big as he is?""What did he say? Big

"Well as much as I wish you were wrong about the information you got, fifteen thousand men did in fact arrive in the forest today." Cassandra sighed. She placed an imperial crest on the map where their camp was currently positioned. " I really hoped either you would be wrong about the day or their numbers."We're pretty good at getting information. We convince them it's in their best interest to cooperate, and that we really, really don't like fake information.""I would be very interested in learning how you-" Taelin had begun but stopped mid sentence when he saw the smiles on The Black Guard squad leader's faces. "Yea never mind. So both fortunately and unfortunately they are proceeding slowly. While it means giving us more time to prepare, Obviously their leader is not incompetent enough to not notice over a thousand men going missing so he's moving in slow and being as safe as possible.""So they're not triggering as many traps as we would like?" Mumbled Cassandra

'I have never been so embarrassed ever! two days ago no one would dare to even whisper an insult behind my back out of fear. Now look at me? I have a pine cone up my ass! I have turned into one of the people I would take advantage of. The weak, my ancestor's would kill me themselves were they still alive to witness such a thing.' Heinrich was filled with self depreciation, the devil he now knew as Alayna saw to it there was no shred of pride left in him. Although last night she had kept one of my guards alive just to demonstrate what would happen if I did not listen. I didn't even know it was possible to physically rip someone's head off. The way she did it... Slow, painful, the man had been alive for about the first minute before she snapped his neck.'The thought sent chills down his spine. Heinrich could hear a thundering sound from the distance as he was lost in his thoughts. 'Oh great just to make the day better it's going to rain now.'After she had killed his guar

"Hey come on you're making me look bad...Pull yourself together!" Marcus was currently attempting to convince a corpse to just spring back to life... It also happened to be one he killed... One of his own."I think the commander's finally lost his mind." announced one of the soldiers currently protecting Marcus."I mean I wish I could say I didn't see it coming...""Guess that Tiny guy was the final nail on the coffin."ROOOOAR!Marcus's eyes popped open. He let go of the head that just flopped down to either side. Slowly he turned his head almost making a creaking sound and looked over his shoulder."What the fuck...?" Marcus mumbled. A Giant dragon made of water behind his army. It rose up into the air and plunged with it's mouth wide open crashing down into a formation of imperial soldier's."What the hell is that!?""It's just some form of magic! Mage's get rid of that damn thing!" Marcus yelled finally regaining his wits. The impe

"You ok Taylor?" The werewolf Marcus ran through canceled her transformation and held onto her wound."I'll be fine, it's already healing.""Good. Go ahead and rest up for now." The girl groaned but did as she was told. Christopher looked towards Marcus. "Now that you're going to pay for." If there was anything Chris hated it was seeing close friends in pain of any kind.Marcus refused to look away. This kid may not look it, but he was terrifying."You know kid it would probably be better if we both just went our separate ways, one of us may die." Smiled Marcus."You make it sound like I could be in danger? Don't worry I assure you I will make your death as painless as possible."'Well isn't he just confident. Not exactly comforting.'"Well then, Lets get to it." Marcus swung his sword. "Just what is that going to hi-" Christopher frowned mid sentence and leaned his head backward. Marcus pumped magic into his blade mid swing and and it exte

Present day...."Please tell me that is not what he actually said." Sarah mumbled massaging her temples. "Unfortunately I very much can see him saying that. Sorry Sarah, maybe accept your new prince charming is not so charming.""Seriously the balls..." "My man! I'm proud of him!"Sarah, Vanessa, Garrett, and Thomas all had something to say on the subject. General consensus... Not very good."Unfortunately he really did, but honestly it wasn't all he had to say." Cassandra shrugged and smiled at everyone, unfortunately since the day I have met him, he has always had an abrasive and shall I say....Unfiltered personality.""So I have a question." Vanessa raised her hand slightly. "I mean he didn't exactly sound like he was all sunshine, rainbows and happiness, but I must admit he seems much more, how should I say it? He seems much more bitter and closed off. I wouldn't think him losing the war would be enough to do that?"Whi

"Oh it was quite simple. When they showed up here to spread their lies, I had all of them killed.""Seriously?""Very much so, I won't tolerate people trying to stir shit up in my own territory, Even if somebody came to light with a dirty secret about me, I would allow it. It's part of the reason the people of Helenfel and all the rest of my territory trust me. When the bastard's began to show up I killed all of them.""Weren't you afraid of offending the king?""Oh please, the fact that I am still alive is an offense to that man and his son, the war financially ruined him, and up until now I never gave the empire a reason move against me."She shrugged smiling grimly. Going up against a trash King like Robert Velen was one thing, but going against the world's greatest super power was a whole different level. Although so long as she didn't get caught it would be nothing but baseless accusations."The reason I am alive, that thousands of my people are

"Well now who is ready for an execuuuuutioooon!?""Yeaaa!" The crowd gathered into the town square everybody's shoulders were pretty much touching it was packed so tight."It was only a little over two years since this scum, these cowards who could never know honor, tried to kill our king!" Voices filled with anger and hate filled the square as thousands of eye's looked upon the stage in both awe of the speaker, and detest of the men chained to the stage."Traitors need to die!""I bet they were agents of the empire the whole time!""My son died in the fight to subjugate you son's of bitches!""If that's the case Ma'am your son was the traitorous piece of shit, also do you know what that means?" one of the men chained to the stage slowly raised his head to meet the eye's of the woman in the crowd and smiled coldly. " That also means he died like a squealing bitch!" He yelled and spit on the ground. "I promise every single person there died horribl

"They used siege magic on the rear line?" Alexis asked with a furrowed brow. "Why would they expend so much magic on the rear line?" To Alexis this didn't make any sense. If they were using it as an opener to an attack from the rear, it would definitely be justifiable. Have your men rush in taking advantage of the destroyed lines and chaos. But using siege magic alone and backing off, would be like someone taking a shotgun to kill a spider inside their own house. Beyond overkill. If they had struck the center of their lines, their commanders, or even their supply train, Alexis could understand the expenditure. Most magic users could fling spells they specialized in for a majority of the day. But siege magic? The average mage could use it four times in one day, but be severely weakened for the next couple of days. Sure they could use siege magic again the next day, but each day without a proper recovery time the power of the attack would be cut in half. "Well sir it seems the rear l

Inside Helenfel. "Right here." Cassandra pointed at a section of her map sprawled out on the table. "This will be the perfect place." Andrea walked around the table to stand next to Cassandra looking down on the map. "Hmmm good call. When they emerge here they'll be in a bottleneck." "That's not all. They'll be coming around a corner too. They wont be able to see our army waiting for them until it's too late. We'll also have archers along the cliff tops. that can shoot down on them." "Why not have our archers continue firing down on them the entire stretch? That's miles of cliff ledge we could use to thin them out." Garrett asked retracing the path on the Albrael army was taking. "Because we don't want to give away our archers. The reason we've barely had our men harass them the past day was leading up to this moment. Most of all we don't want them to double back, leaving the kill zone we've set up." "Isn't there a chance they sent men to the top of the cliffs too though?" "We

Multiple days had passed in the City Of Darkness following the surrender/purge of any still resisting dissidents. And life had begun returning to normal little by little after the bodies were removed from the streets. Havoc's army had upheld their orders. Those who surrendered were allowed to return home without any recourse for fighting against their new host. Neither the members of The Black Guard, nor their militia counter parts caused any unnecessary damage, nor did they loot and pillage the city. Frankly apart from the angered nobles who's homes had been bombarded during the siege, the city was peaceful and upbeat. The stalls were open, any artisans were back to their crafts. The children ran and played in the now cleaned streets that had been soaked in blood not long ago. Guards were posted on every wall and street corner. Christopher and the other leaders involved weren't fools. Though they had been merciful, eventually there would be some who would try fighting back. They e

Just a little earlier"This is big! This is really big!" Brisia grinned ear to ear as she paced back and forth hardly able to contain her excitement. Her little walk even leading her up the walls and onto the ceiling dancing, and skipping, somehow defying gravity."Shit! Shit Shit!" Alesia growled through grit teeth. "I knew something was coming, but even I never imagined this!" Alesia's current mood was about as close to polar opposite of Brisia's as it could get. 'This is the last thing we need currently! If they find out, especially in the middle of this war, we're seriously fucked! Like fucked on the level I was when all the other gods betrayed me and had me cast from the heavens! Perhaps even more fucked!'"I still can't believe it! I mean I suppose when you look at his track record it would make sense, but holy shit!" Brisia exclaimed. "Not just immortal but he's turning into a god.""I know... More so a god of death." Alesia groaned. The completed 'tattoo' pretty much confirme

"E-Elise if you think you can do better, by all means t-take over!" He snapped back.Thunk! Thunk!"Well look Riggy.. I don't mean to be pushy... BUT PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FUCKING KILL US!"

Christopher walked to the giant hole in the wall he had created when trying to incinerate Markous looking out over the city breathing a heavy sigh, hanging his head low and shaking it. "What's wrong? At this rate the city is as good as yours? Shouldn't you be happy?" Brisia asked walking up the wall before hanging upside down looking out of the hole too. "See your people are already working on the third gate. Isn't this what you wished for?" "I'll admit.. I wasn't expecting to get that old bastard's approval, but this didn't pan out as I had hoped." He shrugged watching balls of fire rain down upon the noble district from the trebuchets outside the city. "Sooo you didn't want the city?" "Pftt I could give two shits less about the city. I wanted the power that dwelled down here. On that note I suppose you could say this was a success.

"HAHAHA JUSTICE SHALL BE DELIVERED!" Vale cried out as though she were a poor soul who had been denied justice by the courts for far too long.BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!The ground erupted all around both the twins and the behemoth of a Vampire. The girls quickly turned their backs to one another taken by surprise, readying themselves as best they could considering their injuries. Their eyes caught a glimpse of a creature emerging from the earth, and it was almost instant. The pair blinked and by the time their eyes opened the massive beings were already hovering well above their heads."You've got to be shitting me." Lala mumbled."If she could do this, It would've been nice of her to have done something sooner." Laura huffed her arm dangling limp by her side.Though still on edge the twins felt they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The pair took several steps back returning behind their friendly lines.

RAAAWR! A roar ripped through the caverns as the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently. Many people from both sides of the battle looked around trying to find what kind of ferocious beast could emit such a blood curdling sound. "I haven't heard a roar like that in thousands of years." "I've never heard that kind ever!" Their eyes scanned the surroundings. Looking side to side, up around the cavern ceiling, only to find nothing. The monstrous sound was far to loud for anyone to mistakenly assume they had just imagined it. The rumbling earth began shaking harder and harder although you couldn't physically see any movement, the people could feel the movements underneath their feet from whatever was coming, like a slithering serpent snaking it's way through the grass. It felt as though the very earth beneath their feet may collapse at any moment. If anyone in the vicinity were to claim the gods were angered and unleashing their fury on the city, many wouldn't doubt the w

This day and age when someone says an army they think professional soldiers, fighting and killing is their bread and butter, it's what they train for, it's what they're paid for. Their job consists of nothing besides honing those skills. Training and searching for a way to improve upon the ability to kill, to take the life of another human being. But there's times where an army consists of ordinary people, every day people. Bakers, smiths, teachers, sometimes even the students, people you who have never seen combat, mix these people in with some trained soldiers who're willing to advise and educate these people, and at times these armies can be just as dangerous as the professional ones. When you have a reason to fight, whether it's for a better life, to protect someone, to make a name, for your country, even if for a moment it places you at odds with it, you can become a force that's mighty. With no identifying uniform, the enemy will never know when they're about to strike. A man,
